• Do not strip or crossthread when connecting inlet hose to the valve.

• If the water supply pressure is more than 800 kPa, a water pressure reduction device should be installed.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary

Step1 : Check rubber seal inlet hose

• Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hoses. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connections to taps are sufficiently tight.

• Do not use pliers,multi grips or leverage tools to tighten. Hand tighten only. Use a cloth if necessary

Step2 : Connect hose to water tap

Type-A : Connecting Screw-type hose to tap with thread

• Screw the hose connector onto water supply tap.

Type-B : Connecting Screw-type hose to tap without thread

1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and the 4 adapter retaining screws.

2. Push the adapter onto the end of the tap so that the rubber seal forms a watertight connection. Tighten the adapter ring plate and the 4 screws.

3. Push the water supply hose vertically upwards so that the rubber packing within the hose can adhere completely to the tap and then tighten it by screwing it to the right.

Type-C : Connecting one touch type hose to tap without thread

1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and the 4 adapter retaining screws.

2. Remove the guide plate if the tap is too large to fit the adapter.

3. Push the adapter onto the end of the tap so that the rubber seal forms a watertight connection. Tighten the adapter ring plate and the 4 screws.

4. Pull the connector latch plate down, push the inlet hose onto the adapter, and release the connector latch plate. Make sure the adapter locks into place.

NOTE: After connecting inlet hose to water tap, turn on the water tap to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature.

Step3: Connect hose to washer

• Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose and that they are not crushed.

When your washer has two inlet valves

• The Inlet hose which has red connector is for the hot water tap.

• When using warm or hot washes, Energy can be saved by connecting the hot water hose to a hot water supply.

NOTE: After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, repeat the same steps.

Installation of drain hose

• The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor. Water in the washer does not drain or drains slowly if above this height.

• Securing the drain hose correctly will protect the floor from damage due to water leakage.

• If the drain hose is too long, do not force it back into the washer. This will cause abnormal noise, possible water leakage and malfunction.

• When installing the drain hose to a sink, secure it tightly with string.

• Securing the drain hose correctly will protect the floor from damage due to water leakage.

Leveling

1. Leveling the washing machine properly prevents excessive noise and vibration. Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

NOTE: Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.

2. If the floor is uneven, turn the adjustable feet as required (do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet). Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly level (use a spirit level).

• Once the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards the base of the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.

• Diagonal Check

When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at all (Please, check both directions). If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

NOTE: Do not install the machine on a raised platform.

Concrete floors

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.

• Install washer on a flat hard floor.

Tile floors (Slippery floors)

• Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)

• Tread Mate is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.

Wooden floors (Suspended floors)

• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

• To help reduce vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot under washer at least 15mm thick, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws.

• If possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

• Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

• You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

• If vibration persists with rubbers fitted. The flooring structure or rigidity may be inadequate for proper operation.

• Proper placement and levelling of the washer will ensure long, regular and reliable operation.

• The washer must be 100% horizontal and stand firmly in position.

• It must not “Seesaw” across corners under load.

• The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.

• Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

Care before washing

1. Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle. Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways. Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

• Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Caring before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.

• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.

• Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous wash.

• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.

• Before the first wash, select a cycle (Cotton 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

• SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ function is available only for the products with a SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ mark. In case of a mobile phone with static option, the SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ function might not operate.

Using SMARTDIAGNOSIS™

• Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call center. The transmission sounds similar to a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call center.

• SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ cannot be activated if the washer does not power up. If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without SMARTDIAGNOSIS™.

If you experience problems with your washer, call to Customer information center. Follow the call center agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:

1. Press the Power button to turn on the washer. Do not press any other buttons or turn the cycle selector knob.

2. When instructed to do so by the call center, place the mouthpiece of your phone very close to the Power button

3. Touch and hold the “Temp.” button for three seconds, while holding the phone mouthpiece to the icon or Power button.

4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. This takes about 6 seconds, and the display will count down the time.

• For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.

• If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.

• Pressing the Power button during the transmission will shut off the SMARTDIAGNOSIS™.

5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call center agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted for analysis at the call to Customer information center.

• Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method of troubleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission, any external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where the machine is located. Accordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately troubleshoot any given issue.
